Margy r

Rivendell Postulant Margy, a vocational Deacon, is currently instrumental in fostering a community of prayer in the Minneapolis area. 

Margy comments, "I have a deep yearning to live an organic, intentional life--to be the church rather than to go to church is what my heart longs for.  To share a common life of prayer with other pilgrims centered on a rule of life will bring me into deeper communion with God and embolden me in my outreach to the world...  I think God calls us to a life of simple abundance and to a life set apart from the materialism of the world.

"Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts-Schori says that 'Deacons are called to be the nags of the church--like the importunate widow, pounding on the judge's door every day until she gets justice.'  I will serve the community as a loving and devoted nag!!"

Rivendell welcomes Margy with delight, and looks forward to her nagging--a particularly diaconal form of the "provocation to holiness" to which our Rule refers!
